I'll wait for more info before drawing any conclusions, what's on the website right now is confusing.

FWIW, for this season the NFL changed the playoff ticketing process league wide, given the big problems many teams had with it last year. Essentially had STH declare in advance whether they wanted their tickets should their team get a home playoff game.

What happened with the NFL last year, just curious?

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!

It looks like season ticket holders cannot automatically buy their own seats for playoffs unless they renew. Pretty shocked if that's true.

I wonder what happens to season ticket holders who chose the "Convenience" package when renewing last year?
If one chose the convenience pack one would get all Champions League and Playoff tickets for their seat, and your credit card would be charged if TFC happens to qualify for either or both.

Got an e-mail from the account rep. We're supposed to be getting an e-mail today with invoice for renewal and playoff tickets. We will have until October 22nd to confirm our seats. This is from the rep so info can change.

I think it's bad wording. If you are an SSH, you get first rights to your seats. If you want early access to playoff tickets, sign up and place a deposit for season tickets for 2016. What I am not sure of, is if us SSH's get the first crack at extra tickets, or if we get a window alongside future 2016 deposit holders. Playoffs are part of the current season, they can't tell us we need to renew to get playoff tickets. Besides, there is not enough time for them to scramble and make everyone go through the actual renewal process before the 28th. Of course, that is just me thinking logically.

It's no different than what MLSE does with its other properties. For Maple Leafs and Raptors playoff tickets if you are a season seat holder you have first crack at your tickets (option to purchase playoff tickets or not). If you opt to purchase your tickets for the playoffs, then there is a minimal deposit that is paid for the next season renewal. In the case of the Raptors and Maple Leafs, any unused tickets that are purchased (because they ask you to purchase all rounds) are applied to your renewal balance. The Jays did the same thing to their SSH as well (buy all playoff games up to the World Series).

I didn't have to put down a deposit for renewal when I got my playoff tickets for Raptors v Magic. Maybe it's changed since then.

For me it's a big deal because I'm not renewing. I should have the option to purchase my own seat for playoffs.

I suppose the theory is that most fans will want to get their playoff tickets and are so pumped that we are in the playoffs that they will "definitely" want 2016 season tickets. However I'm sure there are a few 2015 SSH that won't be renewing for 2016, for whatever reason, but still still want to see the 2015 playoffs.

Not seeing the surprise here. Isn't this how the 2010 MLS Cup tickets worked - you got your seat if you purchased 2011 seasons? If you don't, you still get an option to purchase tickets on October 21st before the public sale. Not necessarily the same seat, but typically hasn't been a problem getting similar. I don't see that anyone isn't going to have an opportunity here.

If one has a real sob story (perhaps one is moving to Europe - or even worse, Montreal) perhaps your account person at MLSE can do something. Though I don't see much point worrying too much until the process starts, and we understand how it really works.

Complaints about availability, short notice on assembling waiting lists, post season ticket pricing gotchas... New system allows teams to have their lists in hand, let people know pricing, have payment preference on file if needed (auto c/c or billed), stuff like that. I thought it was weird to be asked about playoff tickets before the season started, but probably will make it easier for those teams. Not relevant for my team now (0-5).

I was speaking to a friend who has Raptor seasons and this past year they did the exact same thing.... With the Raptors if you chose not to renew your tickets you will still have access to playoff tickets, but more than likely you will not be in your own seat. So before everyone goes postal on MLSE can we just wait and see what happens???

We should all be still be over the moon we finally made the playoffs!!!!!!!!

That's not how it works 'round these parts. When something good happens you automatically search for the first thing to throw your arms up and complain about. It's how supporting TFC works.
